President promised two years ago that he would fire the leaker. He hasn’t kept his promise. Karl Rove is not only still working in the White House, but he has security clearance. Now it turns out that the vice president of the United States may have been responsible for those leaks for political reasons. That is the kind of thing that has not been done to my knowledge since Aaron Burr was vice president.

Burr would eventually be tried for treason, but the similarities don’t end there. For today we learn that Cheney has just become the first Vice President since Burr to actually shoot a man while in office.

The Associated Press reports that Cheney “accidentally” shot a man on a quail hunting trip in Texas yesterday. (Former VP Dan Quayle is reported to be resting comfortably.) Why the AP assumes the shooting was accidental, I don’t know.

I was talking to a woman a while ago. Smart girl, lawyer, volunteer EMT, knows her shit. And I said I grew up in New York and she asked me if I knew about Weehawken, NJ. And I said yes. And she says, “well what do you know?” I say “it’s where Hamilton was shot.” And she said, “oh, I was just going to say that they had good pizza.” There’s a lesson there, but I don’t know what it is.

Some sort of Texas style hunting party – ” we all get sprayed with pellets all the time. No big deal”

Boy, chalk another one up on the wall.

I spent years in rural farmlands, and a family that hunted all the time almost year around. Duck, geese, pheasant, deer – got so tired of pheasant and venison.

Never once was there even a possible gun accident.

Maybe the death penalty attitude carries over to shooting each other.

A N O T H E R N O T E — Just watched the CNN special on — Vets Running for Congress as Democrats – 40 in all — most impressive. They were not middle of the road about the White House, national defense, health care, education, or veterans benefits.

This is impressive stuff. Taking back America in crises, by those who have served with honor in the military, all branches.

I am a Naval vet …… navel vet too. Out to the sun. Going to follow this group, I think they will be kicking some slimy right wing ass.

One slogan — “Teddy Roosevelt gave us the Square Deal, FDR gave us the New Deal, Turman the Fair Deal, and Bush the Raw Deal.”

These are not shy violets. Go Vets. Going to send each of them 50.00 — all 40.

Hey Democrats! On EBay you can buy a Prophet Muhammad blow up doll, ready for “action”! You can give “Muhammad” a little “Tookie Williams” love [from the rear action] or the “PM” can give you a little “Monica” [hummer]!! Either way, my dear gay Democrat friends, the Prophet is “ready to be of service”!!! Go to EBAY and type in “Tookie love Prophet Muhammad”. [It might be a good idea NOT to give your phone number and address as a few Islam towel heads might not approve of your purchase!]

What you expect from a chickenhawk? This cowardly draft dodger had “other priorities” during the Viet Nam war. If he’d done his duty, maybe he’d have been instructed how to properly discharge a firearm.

What we know now of Burr’s recently decrypted private correspondence with his daughter shows the duel with Hamilton was a long standing plot. A duplicitous duel to eliminate a rival. Does this parallel with a duplicitously engaged war? Traitors both?

Marks, Bob From Boeing, Shall I post the link for your “Prophet Muhammad blow up doll”, complete with prayer rug and towel head? Roger Rabbit, considering that you post ALL day and ALL night Sat and Sunday, maybe you need a little “Tookie” love from a strong, plastic “PM”!! Maybe were you give him your “love” he exclaims “Death to Bush”!! Hell, this is perfect for you HAs libs!!

Honestly, while this would make a good ad for gun safety, or a good ad for keeping guns out of the hands of idiots, and yes I would happily call Cheney an idiot for not knowing where his hunting party was… I doubt its newsworthy as a comspiracy.

Oh and you are wrong about one thing. You said:

For today we learn that Cheney has just become the first Vice President since Burr to actually shoot a man while in office.

Sorry, non sequiter. Burr intentionally shot someone, so it logically must follow that Cheney is the first VP to accidentally shoot someone, a distinction I cannot possibly think anyone should be proud of.

This thing with Cheney is serious. There are already reports that the shooting took place 12 hours before it was reported. Cheney and his buddies used the time for him to sober up from the 10 rum and cokes he had, and to develop a strategy and a cover story. It was reported that he tried to get his lawyers to agree to a story that somebody else did it, or maybe the victim did it himself. According to reports, while the EMTs were helping the victim, Cheney was rocking back and forth on his knees crying “what has happened” over and over.

Oh no… wait… all that stuff was what Ted Kennedy did. Never mind….

Funny how MTR and JCH are trying to change the subject again. The real story is that our current vice president is so reckless that he is a threat to the republic. Cheney should resign immediately or face impeachment.

DJ @ 47: We’ll see what leaks out about the shooting, but as it stands this is an excellent metaphor for a Cheney who looks increasingly like the next Spiro Agnew. It’s not a matter of if — it’s a question of when. There are simply too many smoking guns starting to appear, such as evidence leaking out from the Scooter case.

From Ted The Swimmer’s speech on being a drunk driver, murderer and totally immoral asshole:

These events, the publicity, innuendo, and whispers which have surrounded them and my admission of guilt this morning raises the question in my mind of whether my standing among the people of my state has been so impaired that I should resign my seat in the United States Senate. If at any time the citizens of Massachusetts should lack confidence in their Senator’s character or his ability, with or without justification, he could not in my opinion adequately perform his duty and should not continue in office. The people of this State, the State which sent John Quincy Adams, and Daniel Webster, and Charles Sumner, and Henry Cabot Lodge, and John Kennedy to the United States Senate are entitled to representation in that body by men who inspire their utmost confidence. For this reason, I would understand full well why some might think it right for me to resign. For me this will be a difficult decision to make. It has been seven years since my first election to the Senate. You and I share many memories — some of them have been glorious, some have been very sad. The opportunity to work with you and serve Massachusetts has made my life worthwhile. And so I ask you tonight, the people of Massachusetts, to think this through with me. In facing this decision, I seek your advice and opinion. In making it, I seek your prayers — for this is a decision that I will have finally to make on my own.

Nice speech, but apparently the people of Mass have spoken, and continue to speak everytime they elect him.

I can admit that he is a lousy one to cast stones, but the final arbiter is his constituants.

They have decided he can be trusted, and like it or not, their opinion is binding.

I may dislike him for his bloviations, but he has his state’s blessing.

Yes they did elect him again. It is kind of funny how donks tend to return racists (KKK Byrd) and drunks (Kennedy) back into office but are always the loudest when condemning these actions. Can you say hypocrites?

51………See Post 11. Tell me. W9ouldn’t you like to give your own “PM” a little anal “Tookie” love? I mean bend him over his prayer rug and do a little “slamming”? Maybe then he will scream “Death to Bush” or some other saying that terrorists and Democrats are fond of saying!

Now that we know What A Dick Cheney was drunk when this happened, do you think he’ll be prosecuted? Anyone else would be. Well that’s okay, Fitzgerald will get him now that his number two has ratted him out.

Man I love watching these turd-sucking republican traitors go down in flames!

[JCH] – HTF can you use the words “character” and “Democrats” in the same sentence? Maybe “hypocritic amorral hate filled extremist assholes”, but nothing on character. Remember, Bubba taught them that character doesn’t matter…

Belltown – Since you hate Murka, why don’t you fucking leave. Go to Canada or Cuba or france. You’ll fit right in there. You can be as miserable as everyone else, but at least you’ll all be equal.

Seriously, you gotta be fucking kidding me. Anyone in Murka can make a good life for themselves if they apply themselves. School is free. Jobs are plentiful. Opportunity is unfuckinglimited. I have zero sympathy for those who CHOSE not to take advantage of Murka. Fuck them.

JIDDAH, Saudi Arabia – Former Vice President Al Gore told a mainly Saudi audience on Sunday that the U.S. government committed “terrible abuses” against Arabs after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, and that most Americans did not support such treatment. Gore said Arabs had been “indiscriminately rounded up” and held in “unforgivable” conditions. The former vice president said the Bush administration was playing into al-Qaida’s hands by routinely blocking Saudi visa applications. [Jane Fonda Gore….What a fucking idiot!]

Murka is the land of profit over people, revenues over integrity, corporations over citizens, pollution over environment, the bottom line over universal principles of humanity, injustice and inequality over justice and equality, greed over reason, and the addiction to wealth over the virtue of moderation. The principles of Murka reward pursuit of materialistic wealth over pursuit of happiness, the love of the individual over that of the entirety, the addiction to labor over the love of life and the love of money over the love of family. [Sounds like another day with Uncle “Oldsmobile” Teddy at the Kennedy Compound!!]

CHENEY SAYS SHOOTING OF FELLOW HUNTER WAS BASED ON FAULTY INTELLIGENCE Believed Shooting Victim Was Zawahiri, Veep Says Vice President Dick Cheney revealed today that he shot a fellow hunter while on a quail hunting trip over the weekend because he believed the man was the fugitive terror mastermind Ayman al-Zawahiri.

Mr. Cheney acknowledged that the man he sprayed with pellets on Saturday was not al-Zawahiri but rather Harry Whittington, a 78-year-old millionaire lawyer from Austin, blaming the mix-up on “faulty intelligence.”

“I believed I had credible intelligence that al-Zawahiri had infiltrated my hunting party in disguise with the intent of spraying me with pellets,” Mr. Cheney told reporters. “Only after I shot Harry in the face and he shouted ‘Cheney, you bastard’ did I realize that this intelligence was faulty.”

Moments after Mr. Cheney’s assault on Mr. Whittington, Mr. al-Zawahiri appeared in a new videotape broadcast on al-Jazeera to announce that he was uninjured in the vice president’s attack because, in his words, “I was in Pakistan.”

An aide to the vice president said he believed that the American people would believe Mr. Cheney’s version of events, but added, “If he was going to shoot any of his cronies right now it’s a shame it wasn’t Jack Abramoff.”

At the White House, President George W. Bush defended his vice president’s shooting of a fellow hunter, saying that the attack sent “a strong message to terrorists everywhere.”

“The message is, if Dick Cheney is willing to shoot an innocent American citizen at point-blank range, imagine what he’ll do to you,” Mr. Bush said.

MTR — why should Belltowner leave HIS country because he believes government should help its weakest and most vulnerable citizens? If you don’t agree with that system, then you should consider returning to YOUR country: http://www.ww2incolor.com/gall.....e_23_03_05

I understand many large urban Democrat cities are ordering thousands of Prophet Muhammad Blow Up Dolls on Ebay to be delivered prior to NOV 2006. “Every vote must count, and “axing” if the Prophet Muhammad Dolls are registered is racist!” stated the NAACP spokeman!!

Sold out! The city of Milwaukee just purchased every Prophet Muhammad Plastic Blow Up Doll. “No mo slashin the Repubs MoFo’s tires! We’s gots all da votes we need now!” stated a black city council member who “axed” not to be named.

Yes I did. The NY Times got the information from 3rd party sources which is the way it should be. They didn’t have time yet to make up a story. Where is Jayson Blair when you need him. Hehehehe NY Times = Leftist liars

Are the wingers so lacking in ammo that all they can do is compare the actions of a sitting vice president with that of an a lowly senator from more than 30 years ago. That’s all you got? The Democrats must be pretty clean for you to have to reach that far back.

They didn’t report it for 24 hours. Probably to give Cheney enough time to sober up.

These guys think they’re “hunting”!!??? These old coots drive around in limo’s and then get out of the car to shoot at the birds.. They’ve probably got a “hired hand” to hold their dicks when they pee.

To see them hunting must look like a bunch of clowns endlessly piling out of a car. EXCEPT THESE CLOWNS HAVE SHOTGUNS AND BOTTLES OF WILD TURKEY.

“Whittington … has long been active in Texas Republican politics. He’s been appointed to several state boards, including when then-Gov. George W. Bush named him to the Texas Funeral Service Commission.”

They were also wearing bright orange wigs, large red rubber noses, polka dot “fatigues”, gigantic, floppy L.L. Bean hunting shoes and utility belts sporting seltzer bottles and small brass klaxon horns. Cheney appeared to be , inappropriately , grinning — but it could have been the makeup.

Get that over to puss Sounds — Rossi can use it in his nest political run.

Going to print it for the wall in the john. Still laughing, thanks RR – makes up for your silly twiching habit. Now that we protect your kind from sexual assualt, maybe we can get you the vote in at least metro Seattle.

Seriously, does anyone really have a problem with Dick Cheney shooting another Republican??

Hell, we should have Republicans go “hunting” with other Republicans more often.

J Clarice H can go along in a “support” role since he is accustomed to be subservient. Maybe we’ll all get lucky and Clarice will make a “sound” and Dick “I had other priorities besides taking a gun safety course” Cheney will take a “sound shot” and blast Clarice in the face with some buckshot.

GBS – It is always amusing to see how much joy the lefties get when other humans suffer tragedy, as long as it can somehow smear GW and Co. The virtual orgasms from the HA-ers and KosCrowd when US KIAs reached 1000, and then 2000, as well as the parties when hundreds of dead floated to shore after Katrina, show the true American left wing. Ann Couletr could never hold a candle to you gals. This has been almost as illuminating as the Margaret Sanger-like joy over how much abortion has thinned the ranks of poor blacks more than anything, despite the culling of millions of dem voters.

Your comment only goes to prove you’re either: A) A hypocrite B) Uniformed of the issues C) A liar D) Unwilling to believe your own eyes the unending failures of Bush E) Can’t understand the gist of my post F) All of the above.

It is always amusing to see how much joy the lefties get when other humans suffer tragedy, as long as it can somehow smear GW and Co.

Actually, it is never amusing to see how BushCo seems to take great pride in the human death and misery they spread daily. And apologist like you, mulesass, are sick fucks for supporting their policies that bring â€œUS KIAs (to reach) 1000, and then 2000, as well as hundreds of dead floated to shore after Katrina.â€ All at the expense of our nations security, freedom and treasury.

Get the Democrat buses ready! Time to register Democrat in New Orleans!! FEMA is not going to pay anymore hotel bills! No more cable TV, heated swimming pools, maid service, room services, and Black Velvet out of those cute little bottles!

I don’t know about Goldy’s military service, if any. That’s not important, however. Because what he may many not have lacked in military service, he amply makes up in journalistic value by reporting the news.

But, what is most important is that you’re a WASHOUT hack who couldn’t cut it in flight school and was unceremoniously shipped off to the Gator Navy to become a supply officer.

GBS, normally you are a cool customer. I checked with some relatives on your duty. You are the genuine SEAL article. Mama not give you any loving last night? Did you look below the waist and you went white again? Wow, you are razor sharp nasty today!

Yes, normally I AM a cool customer. But, when I decide to get pissed I do it on purpose. JCH is just a butt-munch officer who needed to be put in his place.

Loving last night? Ummm. . .Nope. No lovin’ last night. Now that I think about it, it’s been several nights. Do you think that gives me a bad attitude? Hey, tonight being Feb 14 is looking pretty good.

Yes, Puddybud, every time I piss I look below my waist and say “Shit, I’m still not black enough!!” And, don’t go there with your “mamma needs a few extra inches of lovin'” crap like you like to do!

Thanks for checking with your relatives regarding my military service, I’ll be sure to send them the $20 for covering my story, just as soon as someone who owes ME $20 bucks pays up. (LOL)

You know, I think I’ll just forgive the debt. . . naaaahhhhhhh, I like holding it over your head. Shit, maybe you’ll join PacMan someday and we can break bread together?
